To evaluate viral hepatitis as a hazard in general dentistry, we surveyed participants an annual health-screening program at the 1972 American Dental Association session. Of 1245 practitioners, 0.9 per cent were positive for B surface antigen, and 12.7 antibody positive. those who had clinical while studying or practicing 43 seropositive. The frequency of evidence prior infection with virus increased uniformly increasing years professional experience. proportion seropositive dentists did not...

This population-based case-control study examined the association between selected nutrients, foods, and diet behaviors bladder cancer. Bladder cancer cases (n = 262) were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program registry for western Washington, controls 405) through random digit dialing. Cases diagnosed January 1987 June 1990, eligible subjects Caucasian, aged 45–65 years, residents of King, Pierce, or Snohomish counties. Subjects completed a self-administered,...

The breast cancer incidence rate (i.e., the detected number of new cases per 100,000 women) increased by 31% in western Washington State between time periods 1974–1978 and 1986–1987. If this increase is largely due to earlier detection through mammography, it encouraging; otherwise (if cannot be attributed mammography alone), investigation other factors may needed. observed increase, based on 18,559 documented from Seattle-Puget Sound Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) registry,...

Breast cancer risk has been hypothesized to increase with exposure heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) formed from cooking meat at high temperature. HAAs require enzymatic activation bind DNA and initiate carcinogenesis. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme activity may play a role, its rate determined by polymorphic gene. We examined the effect of NAT2 genetic polymorphisms on breast method, doneness estimated HAA [2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazole[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP),...

This study was conducted to assess the relation between body size and risk of breast cancer among young women. A case-control women aged 21–45 years living in three counties Washington State. Cases were born after 1944 with invasive or situ that diagnosed January 1, 1983, April 30, 1990. Controls selected using random digit dialing frequency-matched cases on basis age county residence. Interviews took place 1986 1992. Body evaluated indices from several different time periods. After...

In this cohort study, the authors evaluated how supplemental use of multivitamins, vitamin C, and E over a 10-year period was related to 5-year total mortality, cancer cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Participants (n = 77,719) were Washington State residents aged 50–76 years who completed mailed self-administered questionnaire in 2000–2002. Adjusted hazard ratios 95% confidence intervals computed using Cox regression. Multivitamin not However, C associated with small decreases risk....

The effect of prophylactic treatment with depot antipsychotic drugs was examined in 16 patients bipolar affective disorder. frequency and duration illness episodes occurring during compared to that which occurred when these were treated other agents over a corresponding time period. Treatment antipsychotics associated significant decrease the manic episodes, but not depressive episodes. Thus is likely be benefit who experience frequent despite lithium and/or carbamazepine.

We sought to identify HIV-infection risk factors related partner selection and sexual behaviors with those partners among men who have sex (MSM) in King County, Washington.

Background: Russia has one of the world's fastest growing HIV epidemics and it been largely concentrated among injection drug users (IDU). St Petersburg, Russia's second largest city, is country's regions that most affected by epidemic. To monitor current epidemic situation, we sought to estimate recent incidence IDU in Petersburg. Methods: In a cross-sectional study 691 recruited during 2005–08, was estimated two methods: retrospective cohort analysis BED capture enzyme immunoassay (EIA)...

To understand the epidemiology and transmission patterns of hepatitis C virus (HCV), predominant blood borne-pathogen infecting injection drug users (IDUs), in a part former Soviet Union.Cross-sectional respondent-driven sample IDUs.St Petersburg, Russia.A total 387 IDUs were recruited late 2005 throughout 2006.Participants surveyed to collect demographic, medical both general dyad-specific sexual behaviors. A was collected detect antibodies amplify viral RNA for molecular analysis. The...

To date, the great majority of Russian HIV infections have been diagnosed among IDUs and concerns about potential for a sexual transmission beyond IDU population increased. This study investigated differences in prevalence risk behaviors between non-IDUs St. Petersburg, Russia assessed associations substance use patterns risks within those two groups. Cross-sectional survey data biological test results from 331 65 who sex partners were analyzed. Multivariate regression was employed to...

To ascertain HIV prevalence among people who inject drug (injection users (IDUs)) in the Russian Federation and identify explanations for disparity different cities.Cross-sectional survey with serological testing hepatitis C virus prevalent infections.8 cities-Irkutsk, Omsk, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Naberezhnye Chelny, Voronezh, Orel St Petersburg.In 2007-2009 active IDUs were recruited by respondent-driven sampling a target sample size of 300 or more each city.Participants administered...

A random-digit-dialing survey to examine the prevalence, content, and impact of physician dietary recommendations in a representative population-based sample Washington State residents was administered 1972 persons aged 18 years older. Twenty percent those surveyed received physician's recommendation for change previous year. The most common were decrease intake cholesterol, calories, red meat increase vegetables fiber. Respondents receiving more likely report decreased use high-fat foods...

The relationship of breast cancer to cigarette smoking is inconsistent in the literature, possibly due part heterogeneity carcinogen metabolism. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme activity believed play a role activation tobacco smoke carcinogens. We examined effect NAT2 genetic polymorphisms on risk from active and passive smoking. Women were recruited those who had suspicious masses detected clinically and/or mammographically. Questionnaire data collected prior biopsy diagnosis blind...

The HIV epidemic in Russia, one of the world's fastest growing, has been concentrated mostly among people who inject drugs (PWID). We sought to explore epidemiology St. Petersburg by sampling from highest risk groups PWID and men have sex with (MSM) use viral sequencing data better understand nature city's epidemic. Serological testing confirmed an prevalence excess 40%. All but 1 110 whose blood samples were tested for genetic diversity infected subtype A virus, specifically AFSU strain....
